2010 US Tour Poster - Cultivating a Culture of Awakening
We organize a US Tour, so that we can come together to dwell happily in the present moment as a community of practice - Sangha. The retreat will be lead and guided by monks and nuns in the tradition of Zen Master Thích Nhất Hạnh (Thầy).

For more information and registration for this retreat, please click here!

Our teacher Thích Nhất Hạnh (Thầy) shared these words with us when he was not able to attend the retreat "One Buddha is Not Enough" in Colorado last year:

"Dear friends, if you look deeply enough, you will see me in the Retreat, walking with you, sitting with you, breathing with you.  I feel clearly that I am in you and you are in me.  In this Retreat, you will witness the talent of the Sangha: You will see that Thay is already well continued by the Sangha, and the Presence of the Sangha carries Thay's presence."

"We have to acknowledge the fact that the Sangha has embodied the continuation of Thay in a beautiful way, and there is no reason for anyone of us to worry about the future of our practice."
